Mike FM: If it only had a brain

TC reports he was listening to Mike FM yesterday when a station promo promoting the fact the station never plays anything offensive segued into Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side:"

... Now, let me make this absolutely clear: "Walk on the Wild Side" is a great freakin' song. But did nobody see the irony in going from "nothing offensive" to playing a song with a reference to oral sex in the second verse?

And, you know what kids can be like. Kids listen, kids ask questions, kids retain things without you realizing it and then spout them back at inopportune times. Do I really want my two year old suddenly singing "...even when she was giving head"? ...

The naked truth about local advertising

It's bad enough the Herald does a story on complaints about that radio-station ad with the stripper office workers without quoting a single person who's actually upset by it. But how can they write about local nudie ads without mentioning the Clay Naked Car Sales Guy?

After all, it's not like we don't get to see him do unnatural acts with a steering wheel about 30,000 times during every Red Sox game on NESN.

People who are offended by skin and have no sense of humor whatsoever will want to take special care to avoid the Naked Sales Guy ad they can't show on TV - and definitely will not want to play Dress Naked Sales Guy.

No, sorry, I'm not going to do a naked disclosure.
